Abstract

The Climate Resilience Demonstrator, CReDo, is a climate change adaptation digital twin demonstrator project by the National Digital Twin programme to improve resilience across infrastructure networks.
CReDo is a pioneering project to develop, for the first time in the UK, a digital twin across key services networks to provide a practical example of how connected-data and greater access to the right information can improve climate adaptation and resilience.

CReDo looks specifically at the impact of extreme weather, in particular flooding, on energy, water and telecoms networks. It demonstrates how those who own and operate them can use secure, resilient, information sharing, across sector boundaries, to mitigate the effect of flooding on network performance and service delivery to customers. The CReDo digital twin uses an Information Management Framework approach to share data across sectors, integrating flood simulations for climate change scenarios with data from the utility networks. The digital twin models interdependence to illustrate the resilience of the networks as a combined system of systems.
